[ There's a young man settling himself down in front of the camera as the feed begins - those who have been there might recognize the location as a room inside the house where a majority of the former inhabitants of Remnant are staying. His posture is upright, hands folded neatly in his lap as he crosses one leg over the other. ]
Good afternoon! I hope this day finds you all well. My name is Whitley Schnee - and yes, for those who have made the connection, Weiss is my dear older sister. I've only just arrived a short while ago, but should anyone need assistance or advice with their finances I'll be happy to lend my aid. I see there's quite a bustling economy in this world, and I've had some experience in the realm of business dealings. As for what I need...
[ A pause, as he laughs with a little smile. ]
The name and address of a good tailor would be sensational. I'm afraid my wardrobe didn't make the journey with me.

[ no one runs a business like papa schnee ]
Eventually - but for now I'll be helping my sister with hers. This is a new world, after all - the principles of an economy may be the same, but there are all sorts of variables I would like to clarify before attempting a venture of my own.

Oh. So you went that direction. Welcome to the team, Whitley, it's a pretty good place to work.
Re: [Video]
... You're an employee of the Schnee Company?

[Just because he promised Weiss he wouldn't say anything about what she told him, doesn't mean he has to pretend to be enthusiastic about Jacques.]
I work security. I volunteer as Weiss' deputy, so security is where most of my income comes from.

[ His tone is polite, but firm - his father is a Big Deal. It's a fact. Sorry, not sorry. ]
I see! Then as the new branch manager, I look forward to working with you - though with all due respect, I hope your services never need to be called upon. The best battles are the ones never fought.

[He isn't going to argue, but he does sound skeptical.]
Okay, that's not just helping, but congrats on the job. I hope so too. I don't want to end up accidentally damaging your office and having Weiss yell at me about it later.

[Video]
Yeah, I mean it's no big deal. I do stupid stuff, and she yells at me when I do it.
[Video]
And... she's one of your best friends, as you told me?
[ do you have some stockholm shit going on ]
[Video]
But I hope I'm not making a bad impression on her. I know I'm not exactly...sophisticated, and she-- she's classy. Don't judge her for my behavior.
[Video]
Oh, there's no need to worry about that. I've known her longer than you have, after all - I've already made my judgments.

[This certainly isn't an awkward conversation on his own part.]
